OK, what we can say about yesterdays race.... in better case nothing, cos probably we should forget about that shame asap. Aaand what we have learned from this race? According to previous races of Malaysia or Australia - most likely nothing, as usual.
When we stepped into FSR with Jiri this year, we thought itll be insanely hard to be successfull in such a competition. Well, truth is, is insanely hard to SURVIVE here, not to even have good results.
Our "constructors chances" was once again kicked to the butt by amateurish behaviour of other drivers. And that definitelly isnt what we expected from FSR.
Ye, its only Ace, but its considered as "one step from WC". But actually its seems like one step from simracing hell.
---------------------
I had BoG for my silly mistake in Australian Q2. So I just wanted to survive 1st lap. But I wanted too much it seems.
I was finding clean line, to have enough of space in T1. Unfortunatelly Godek tried it from the inside and I had to go more to the middle to left him space on the inside. That resulted in contact with Simon I didnt even known about. Found it out in replay later - but he was about 1m from me, but contact anyway. Noone to blame, just 250+ ping, shame.
But that was only appetizer. In second corner, Prieto (FTS) closed the doors and caused a massive wreck. I was able to avoid any contact, but other people crashed aswell and hitted me rear left tire 2 times. I was 14th after two corners, but I had suspension damage, and was really off the pace. I had no chance to get back to TOP10.
-----------------------
After Satherley´s grid penalty I started 10th in Sprint race. And guess what?? Another FTS driver, Leitner this time, wasnt able to even start with launch control. Then again wreck in T2, where Torres closed doors to Twister driver and then also spun, so I had to avoid him. We all know what happend then...
-----------------------
So 2nd start was good finally. It was weird to push after 45mins of driving with damaged car. I was all the time in dirty air and was waiting for my chance, which came with crash of Gobbi, Kiss and Patel.
To the last corner of the track, I attacked Tali, who was struggling on worn hard tires. He closed the doors and I also lost my position with Kiss, who had little moment and hitted me little bit.

Now about what happend today in WC. Wreck on start - FTS cars again. Leitner after yesterdays fail again wasnt able to use LC properly. Is this possible at all?
Some people should think about their carreer of simracer. Its not about holzmanning....ehm, I meant hotlapping, and then "we will see whats gonna happen in race, bro". Simracing is not only about to be fast.
You have to practice enough, but for race, not for quali only. And then try to do your best, what includes be carefull in first lap. Dont make stupid moves, or driving on the edge with cold tires and brakes, if you arent sure you can handle it. And if you think that you can...... THINK AGAIN!!
